The significance of hobbies in a
child’s life is being constantly underestimated in this era of technology.
Where social media addiction and games like blue whale are increasing the stress
on parents, overprotective parenting has become a lifestyle for families. It is
becoming easy for children to get caught up in activities that keep them
isolated indoors and focused on devices. As a consequence, kids are growing inactive
and dull, leading to huge concerns for parents all around the World.
Here’s to the relief!
Just understand
your kids’ interest and encourage them to pursue interesting hobbies like
reading books, collecting stamps or coins, playing outdoor/indoor games in their
free time, etc. Indulge them into creative activities like painting and
stacking blocks right from the beginning, while they’re curiously establishing
tiny discoveries about their new World.
Let’s go a little deeper to
understand how a “hobby bobby” can be a “happy bobby”:
- Hobbies benefit children in many ways by giving them something constructive to do with their time. This gets them thinking, creating and learning all while having fun.
- Hobbies stimulate mind and senses. A hobby is surely not an inborn inclination. When a child gets encouraged for reading or painting, his vocabulary, actions and the way of looking at things change.
- Hobbies not only sharpen their intellectual abilities but also ignites creativity in them.
- Hobbies help them grow their self-confidence, teaches them motor skills, being responsible and who knows when their simple hobbies develop into full-fledged skills in later years!
